What a great post, Matt! So much to say … First: oh, Mari. Second: such great shots! That last one is especially wonderful. Third: I’ve been thinking about the Pentacon Six a lot lately. Fourth: I’ve also been thinking about a woodneck a lot lately.

That New Years resolution is perfect for you, M. And what a great start!

i think brian pretty much covered it.

I’ve been kicking myself that the one time I was near the Barn, a few months ago, I went in and totally forgot that what makes the place special is that they offer drip coffee. I got a pretty good flat white IIRC and missed the drip. Next time. How do you order the drip coffee in German?

tara: Your coffee geek husband is most welcome!

Brian: Let me know if I should keep an eye out for you. They’re actually quite reasonably priced in good ol’ Germany. And you should treat yourself to a woodneck. Currently even prefer it over the drip filter.

Astrid, claire: thanks, gals! coffee and photo, good start for the new year.

Patrick: Most of their barista are actually from all over the planet, so you shouldn’t have any problems.

Hi, Mathias. I enjoy your blog from Japan. I love both photography and coffee, so this entry is really lovely. I have been making myself coffee only at home, not visiting any local cafes, but the photos make me want to after a while:)

These are great photos. Love the colors! Is this from a holga? what type film did you use? You certainly know how to take pics.

Amazing photography, will let you know what I think of the coffee. As a newbie in Berlin we’re still tasting around for the perfect brew. Is this place better than No Fire, No Glory in Friedrichshain? This place… http://www.uberlin.co.uk/no-fire-no-glory/

Posted by James on 19 January 2011 @ 8pm

Yes, much better actually, and not as outrageously expensive, plus they have much better coffee beans at The Barn. As my last visit to No Fire, No Glory was rather disappointing in both their prices and the coffee itself, I steer clear of it these days.

Hi, I’m new to your blog, but must say this series of photos are fantastic. I’ll be back for more =)
